Sustainable development and CSR
We are committed to conventional, integrated and eco-friendly farming. Our agronomists help our members to protect the land and reduce the use of crop protection products. We support agriculture that conserves the soil and we are helping to develop organic farming. Our cooperative organisation looks after our teams of staff to better live and work together. We value the personal development of our teams, both individually and collectively.
from words to deeds
We are introducingCOVER CROPS
what's that?
Plants, often pulses, sown between two cereal crops to avoid soil erosion.
Why?
Apart from providing protection, it’s a natural way of improving, or enriching, the soil with nitrogen and helps the next crop to be healthy.
Cooperatives and governance
Our organisation is naturally rooted in a cooperative way of working.
At a time when solidarity was less popular, we wanted to develop a model based on short supply chains that promote the grain produced by our members. Nowadays, this way of working is our strength. It makes us more responsive, able to innovate and delivers product quality and traceability.
